Which Graphics card to go with?

Hello and thank you in advance to anyone with advice.

Im currently looking at mainly 2 different graphics cards right now.

One is the ATI Radeon 1300 XGE 512 DDR2mb and the other is the PNY Verto Geforce 7900 GS w/ 256 DDR3mb. These cards are within $10 of each other with the PNY being 10 bucks more but Im curious if the 256mb ddr3 would outperform the ATI with 512 ddr2mb? Which would you choose if you had to decide? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Finally someone has come to actually answer your question. The 7900 is better, by FAR. This is not even close, the Radeon 1300 series is a budget non gaming series, while the 7900s are a gaming series. The amount of RAM is not nearly the most important thing.

Now, I noticed you mentioned Best Buy, don't buy a graphics card there, they overcharege, go here and get the same type of card for less:http://www.newegg.com/

screw both and go with 7900gt, 24 pxl pipe lines ftw, best card for the money at the moment.. I think you can get a xfx for 200

any card with 256 ram will suffice

ddr3 is better than ddr2 but naturally 512 is better than 256

main thing is to check that your motherboard can support ddr3

sorry but i do not know which one is better tho:(

peace out :)
